Hawaiian Breakfast

by Kim Kotecki

My sisters and I were infamous for our (terrible) Mother’s Day breakfast in bed.

Burnt toast and orange juice.

Sorry mom! What she really dreamed of was a trip to Hawaii.

Since you will probably not be sending your mom to Hawaii for Mother’s Day, surprise her with a Hawaiian breakfast treat. (preferably in bed)
